A two-car crash on Maui-hawaii hospitalized three people yesterday and backed up traffic for several hours.
At about 6:11 a.m., a Lahaina-bound 1993 Ford pickup, driven by a 38-year-old man, crossed the center line and collided with a 2007 Ford Mustang convertible. The crash occurred on Honoapiilani Highway, on the Lahaina side of the tunnel.

The Mustang was driven by a 47-year-old California man, with a 46-year-old woman as his passenger. The pickup driver suffered facial and leg fractures. The condition of the others was not available yesterday afternoon.

The traffic backlog lasted until after 10 a.m. yesterday. All three victims had their seat belts on. Police said if they had not, the crash would have been fatal.
